[Verse 1]
C6sus2
Seven Days was all she wrote
  Ebmaj7sus2         Bb6sus2
A kind of ultimatum note
    G(add9)     G
She gave to me
    F(add9)     F6/9
She gave to me
 
C6sus2
When I thought the field had cleared
   Ebmaj7sus2         Bb6sus2
It seems another suit appeared to
G(add9)      G
challenge me
E
Woe is me
 
[verse2]
 
C6sus2
Though I hate to make a choice
   Ebmaj7sus2        Bb6sus2
My options are decreasing
       G(add9)     G
mostly rapidly
F(add9)         F6/9
Well we'll see
 
C6sus2
I don't think she'd bluff this time
  Ebmaj7sus2       Bb6sus2
I really have to make her mine
     G(add9)      G
It's plain to see
     E
It's him or me
 
[Chorus]
 
F       F#dim            G
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
   G#dim          Am  Fmaj7                G
If I make up my mind, Wednesday would be fine
G#dim            Am    C/Bb             Am
Thursday's on my mind. Friday'd give me time
C/Bb           Am    Fm(maj7)           C6sus2
Saturday could wait, but Sunday'd be too late
 
[verse 3]
 
C6sus2
The fact he's over six feet ten
Ebmaj7sus2           Bb6sus2
Might instill fear in other men
G(add9)       G
But not in me
F(add9)      F6/9
The mighty flea
 
C6sus2
Ask if I am mouse or man
  Ebmaj7sus2        B6sus2
The mirror squeaked away I ran
      G(add9)    G
He'll murder me
   E
In time for his tea
 
[verse 4]
 
C6sus2
Doesn't bother me at all
   Ebmaj7sus2  Bb6sus2
My rival is Neanderthal
  G(add9)        G
It makes me think
   F(add9)        F6/9
Perhaps I need a drink
 
C6sus2
IQ is no problem here
   Ebmaj7sus2         Bb6sus2
We won't be playin' Scrabble for
    G(add9)    G
her hand I fear
  E
I need that beer
 
 
 
F       F#dim            G
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
   G#dim          Am  Fmaj7                G
If I make up my mind, Wednesday would be fine
G#dim            Am    C/Bb             Am
Thursday's on my mind. Friday'd give me time
C/Bb           Am    Fm(maj7)           C6sus2
Saturday could wait, but Sunday'd be too late
 
[interlude]
 
Bb9-5            Csus2               Bb9-5
Seven days...Will quickly go
Bb9-5                 Csus2           Bb9-5
The fact remains....I love her so
Bb9-5            Fmaj7                Bb9-5
Seven days....so many ways
Bb9-5           Csus2                 Bb9-5
But I can't run away
Bb9-5       C6sus2
I can't run away
 
 
 
F       F#dim            G
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
   G#dim          Am  Fmaj7                G
If I make up my mind, Wednesday would be fine
G#dim            Am    C/Bb             Am
Thursday's on my mind. Friday'd give me time
C/Bb           Am    Fm(maj7)           C6sus2
Saturday could wait, but Sunday'd be too late
 
[outro]
 
C6sus2      Bb9-5
....... ............Sunday'd be too late
C6sus2      Bb9-5
................Sunday’d be too late
C6sus2
Do I have to tell a story
    Bb9-5                               Cmaj7sus2
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
Bb9-5      Cmaj7sus2
...........It's a big enough umbrella
Bb9-5                                   Cmaj7sus2
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Bb9-5         C6/9
.........
